Abstract

The effective population size and the expected level of heterozygosity are considered for populations whose size changes in a deterministic, cyclic way. Repeated bottlenecks, combined with long enough cycle length, not only provide large deviations from the widely used approximated values, but also greatly reduce the heterozygosity level at all stages of the cycle.-Authors
